Update a boring white shower curtain with three simple materials and a little bit of patience. This curtain's pretty grid pattern is achieved with a shibori-inspired dyeing technique, and can be designed to match any bathroom decor. The best part? You won't break the bank with this project, which can be completed for less than $30.

What You Need

White shower curtain

Spray bottle

Liquid dye

Step 1: Prep and Fold

Wash and dry a basic white shower curtain. Press if needed. Accordion-fold the fabric in 12-inch sections down the length of the curtain. Then fold the piece accordion-style the other direction, forming a square.

Step 2: Secure the Curtain

Sandwich the folded curtain between cardboard squares cut slightly smaller than 12 inches. Secure with two rubber bands on each side to create a 3x3-inch grid.

Step 3: Spray Dye

Fill the spray bottle with liquid dye. On a protected work surface, spray the dye around all edges of the folded curtain, then wrap the curtain in plastic for six hours.
